A: Whether you pay child support or not or were ever married or not is irrelevant to the issue of visitation. If you are entitled to visitation and the other parent is denying it and / or making it difficult without justification, then that is likely a jerk thing to do and is unacceptable. Hire an attorney, get a custody / visitation order and stick it to her good and proper.
